The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.

There's a side to being in a band that some people embrace and some don't: the fact that you're performing and you care about how it comes across.

Because I'm quiet, people think I'm really cold, or rude, or snobby. But I'm literally scared to talk to them.

I like the guitar better these days. I like the bass, too, but it's hard to fit a bass amp in a small car.

I had a really intense flying dream most of my childhood into my teens. I would go out at night and fly all over the city and I could facilitate other people to fly with me.

It's very hard to tour.

I've always liked extreme performers; I don't think I am one, but my mentality is in line with that.
